If you have a large group, you can play Among Us with up to 10 people in the same match, but if you don’t have as many members, you can always add random players from the internet.

Another action title, Bombsquad gets a little more up close and personal where you and your friends compete in an arena with your own avatars to complete a variety of tasks. While deathmatches allow you to kill everyone else in the funniest ways, including tossing others off the arena, other modes like capture the flag and races are all about strategy and control. Irrespective of what game mode you take, expect hours of fun.

For football fans, if there’s anything better than the joy of enjoying a game on their local ground, it’s a good game of FIFA on their PCs or consoles. However, for those who rely on mobile phones, FIFA Mobile doesn’t offer the same polished experience. That’s where PES 2021 comes in. You can choose your favourite teams and play against friends right from the moment you start the game thanks to an easy in-game friend system.

Football Strike (Android+iOS)

Football Strike is another football game for those who want a more casual experience and not the full match thrill of PES 2021. With just two game modes, both based on free-kicks, Football strike is all about accuracy and scoring goals to beat your friends. Rewards come in the form of power-ups and other forms of player avatar customisations.

Head Ball 2 (Android+iOS)

Head Ball 2 is another football-based game that’s very different. You focus only on one on one battles again but instead of free-kicks, your head is your primary weapon now. Combine timed strikes, kicks, power-ups and more to score more goals than your opponent to win the game. Plenty of customisation options for your character, and choices of power-ups should keep you and your friends entertained for days.

Tennis Clash (Android+iOS)

If Football is not your thing, Tennis Clash is probably the next best, most polished title. Tennis Clash features gorgeous graphics, easy-to-use gameplay mechanics and lets you power up your character as you progress through the game.
